And I failed by one question! 42/50 and I needed 43!!! How annoying! 😩 Will try again next month. I really had a good feeling about it. Today thinking I would pass I even got put on the number 9 computer ( my lucky number!) oh well.... How many times did it take everyone to pass there car theory? And also it sucks they don't show You What you got wrong so you can't learn!

Clue is in the name with a toucan - two can cross so bikes and pedestrians.

Notquite I was defiantly over thinking some of Questions, and did change a few answers 🙄 wow you passed 38 weeks pregnant that is impressive, I couldn't even ride on a bus when pregnant I got so travel sick! I defiantly think I'm more practical I am a doer not a thinker haha

Have been learning to drive a year this August, tho I have had a couple months break from it as need to. Save some money up again!

I passed with full marks first attempt and found it piss easy...I didn’t do hazard perception as it was 2003. Is it harder now as I flew through it and passed easily? I do have a photographic memory and studied really hard.

Fluffyears · 07/03/2019 18:45

Done of my questions were actually daft ‘ahead you see two horses with mounted riders, what action should you take?
A:speed up to go past as fast as possible.
B:give some long blasts on your horn to let them know you are there.
C: go past slowly giving plenty of space
D: call the police as they should not be in the road.

I mean come on?

hmwhatsmynameagain · 07/03/2019 18:50

I failed back in November, had a break over Christmas, then took it again Tuesday of this week and passed!
Now the practical to do on 7th May

sirmione16 · 07/03/2019 19:12

I feel for you OP, this was me the first time too!! I'd have rather failed by loads than miss out by one bloody mark.

Don't let it get you down, it shows you DO know it well enough to be able to pass next time. We believe in you! :)

Cherrybomball · 07/03/2019 20:30

Ahh thankyou sirmione, it was a kick in the teeth to fail by one mark, so close yet so far.....
Fluffy I found the majority of the questions was pretty much comment sense I too had a very simelar question about what to. Do when passing horses! Sure I got that one right 🤞some of them I thought were tricky like the way they were worded and I just stared at them for ages cringing while selecting the answer! But could just be me! 🤯 Well done hmwhats I really hope that is the same senerio for me too! Good luck with your practical test In May

A friend’s DD took 13 goes, DS passed his theory 1st time but took a year and 3 goes to pass his practical, I glad I didn’t have to take a theory test

Good luck for next time OP

Thankyou red river, just goes To Show everyone is different and as someone up thread said we all end up with the same lisence at the end, you don't get a extra fancy driving lisence cause you passed first time
